Cht_Robin

Syntax

Bc Diffuse For Energy ([{of} SpeciesName] | [{in} MaterialPhaseName] | [{ls} {a | b | c}]) {@ | at | for | on | over} Mesh Extent Name ([Touching TouchingMeshExtent] | [Opposing OpposingMeshExtent]) = Cht_Robin [Using Data Specification Data Spec Name] ([Power_Output = power_output] | [Flux_Output = flux_output] | [Toggle = toggle])

Summary

Applies a Robin-style BC of the form: J dot n + h * (T-Tref).

Description

J, h, and Tref should be specified using the material properties BC_HEAT_FLUX, HEAT_TRANSFER_COEFFICIENT, and BC_REFERENCE_TEMPERATURE in a material that is applied to the surface.

The following options are present in most boundary conditions/sources. The meaning of each option is as follows:

Power_Output

If specified, the total (integrated) power of the given BC/Src is calculated and stored into the global variable name specified as the power_output argument.

Flux_Output

If specified, the average flux of the given BC/Src is calculated and stored into the global variable name specified as the flux_output argument.

Toggle

If given, specifies which toggle block controls whether this BC is active or not.
